Preface

What follows is the outcome of a reliability and validity study as performed by Karin Roodt, M Ed (Counselling and Guidance) UNISA, Registered Psychologist (SAMDC), Senior Lecturer, Technikon Natal (serving as Project Manager), assisted by Charles Robert, BSc (Hons)(Stats): Statistician, Director of South Africa on Line.

I would like to thank the following companies and individuals for participating in this study and in some way contributing to the final report:

HSRCBarbara Miller and Berryll McIntyre for assisting with the marking of Technikon Natal's 16-PF answer sheets

Labour LawyerGraham Giles for scrutinising this report from a law perspective.

A study of this nature must be approached with caution because no single psychological tool is able to yield everything about a person's personality. A test battery, i.e. a collection of several tests, reveals far more about an individual than does any single test of personality, preference, interests, intelligence or general personality dynamics.
